Selby bus drivers to vote on strikes in dispute over pay
Members of the Unite union employed by Arriva in Yorkshire will vote on industrial action.
Bus drivers at a depot in Selby are being balloted on strike action in a dispute over pay.
Members of the Unite union employed by Arriva in Yorkshire will vote on industrial action.
The union claims a pay offer of 4.1 per cent is less than half the current rate of inflation.
Workers are also being balloted at depots in Castleford, Dewsbury, Heckmondwike and Wakefield.
Unite said many of the bus drivers were struggling to make ends meet because of the cost-of-living crisis.
The ballot will close on May 23, so strikes could begin in early June if there is a yes vote.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: "This offer is a pay cut and is unacceptable to Unite. Arriva has to think again and come back with an offer that fully reflects this cost-of-living crisis."
